Budget Hosting Solutions for Your TLDs

There are two entities you require in order to set up a web portal. The first one is a domain name that will exhibit your web portal when you type it in a browser, and the other one is a hosting account, which is basically the disk storage space on a hosting server where the site files will be located, plus several more services that it is offering. The domain name and the web hosting plan are 2 associated, yet separate services, and you require both of them to have an operational website.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain is the alpha-numeric combination that you will select to be the web address for the web site: my-best-domain.com, for instance. A domain can be up to sixty four symbols long and it is made of 2 constituents – a top-level domain name (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). In the abovementioned instance, my-best-domain is the Second-Level Domain, and .com is the TLD. While you can pick the Second-Level Domain of the domain name to be anything that is free to register, there is a set number of top-level domain names to pick from. The top-level domain names can be generic (gTLDs) or country-code (ccTLDs), and can be registered for a particular period of time between one and ten yrs. They may entail other stipulations regarding the registrant.

Domain Name Hosting Services

As the domain is just a hostname and nothing more than that, you need a web hosting package where you have to add it. Thus, when you write it in a web browser, it will display the web site files that you have in the account, i.e. it will open your website. You can have a domain name registered with a particular company and get the hosting service from another, although many web hosting suppliers provide both solutions and it is more convenient to manage all services from one and the same web hosting Control Panel GUI. Either way, since the domain name registration and the web hosting plan are separate services, you have to point the domain to the web hosting server where it will be added as hosted. To perform that, you need to modify a given setting, or record, of the domain - the commonly named nameservers. Each web hosting service provider has at least two nameservers - ns1.tigerhosts.eu and ns2.tigerhosts.eu, for example. The web hosting CP that you use for your domain offers you the option to alter the name servers and point the domain name to one hosting corporation or another.

The Demand for Dependable web hosting Solutions

The moment the domain name is pointed to a specific domain hosting company and is added to their servers, you will receive different services. The most essential one is that the web page files that you have on the web server will now be shown when you type your domain in a browser. You will also be able to create electronic mailboxes like name@my-best-domain.com and use webmail or an e-mail client to manage them. Whether you own a personal or a corporate web portal, being available online and being enabled to use electronic mail accounts with your domain name are the two most fundamental options that you receive with a website hosting package. If you run a corporate web page – it will identify your business before your web page visitors or clients. For that reason you require a stable web hosting company that will deliver a dependable and stable website hosting solution.
